About Wendy
Wendy Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, build self-esteem and confidence, and address career difficulties.
Wendy focuses on practical, moment-to-moment work. Sessions emphasize noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying small experiments, and learning what changes make a real difference day to day. She treats depression, social anxiety and phobia, and issues that come with major life shifts like divorce and separation.
Clients also bring concerns about control issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Wendy supports people facing cancer and the emotional impacts that follow. She works with matters of forgiveness, self-love, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques. That mix is used to set concrete goals, test new responses, and track small improvements between sessions.

How her approaches can work online
Wendy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT often includes setting clear goals, practicing small behavior changes, and tracking what works over time. Client-Centered Therapy is used to follow the person's priorities and to build sessions around what the client needs in the moment. Motivational Interviewing is brought in when motivation is stuck and someone wants help finding reasons to change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy treats this as a collaborative process where goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before shape the plan. She and the client review progress and adjust methods as needed to focus on practical steps and measurable changes.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting someone meet outside work hours. Discussing how sessions will be scheduled and whether to use audio or video is part of the initial matching and booking process.
